520 $aThe Aryan Christ is the previously untold story of the first sixty years of Jung's life - a story that follows him from his 1875 birth into a family troubled with madness and religious obsessions, through his career as a world-famous psychiatrist and his relationship and break with his mentor Freud, and on to his years as an early supporter of the Third Reich in the 1930's.
520 8 $aIt contains never-before-published revelations about his life and the lives of his most intimate followers - details that either were deliberately suppressed by Jung's family and disciples or have been newly excavated from archives in Europe and America.
520 8 $aRichard Noll traces the influence on Jung's ideas of the occultism, mysticism, and racism of nineteenth-century German culture, demonstrating how Jung's idealization of "primitive man" has at its roots the Volkish movement of his own day, which championed a vision of an idyllic pre-Christian, Aryan past.
520 8 $aNoll marshals a wealth of evidence to create the first full account of Jung's private and public lives: his advocacy of polygamy as a spiritual path and his affairs with female disciples; his neopaganism and polytheism; his anti-Semitism; and his use of self-induced trance states and the pivotal visionary experience in which he saw himself reborn as a lion-headed god from an ancient cult. The Aryan Christ perfectly captures the charged atmosphere of Jung's era and presents a cast of characters no novelist could dream up, among them Edith Rockefeller McCormick - whose story is fully told here for the first time - the lonely, agoraphobic daughter of John D.
